Today’s card was created using Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Painted Texture Embossing Folder, Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and the stamp set, Cottage Rose.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card and then added a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock. I then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and adhered it to the Mint Macaron cardstock.
I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to cut two pieces of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Mint Macaron cardstock. I embossed the Mini Macaron pieces using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each rectangle and then placed them on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink onto Basic White using the stamp set, Cottage Rose. I cut it out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card. To complete my card, I added three Basic Rhinestones below the sentiment.
Here’s another version of today’s card. This is actually the card I made first. I decided it was a bit flat for my taste (but it’s flatter to mail) so I carefully took the pieces off and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each rectangle. This card is also vertical rather than horizontal.

Today’s card was made using the same layout as yesterday’s card (you can see that card HERE – you’ll need to scroll down to see the card). I used Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.
I used a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I adhered one to the inside of the card and the other was placed inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and it was run through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the card front.
I cut a small strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock (all the measurements are below the Supply List) and placed it inside the same embossing folder that I used for the first layer and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the center of the card.
I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with a piece of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front, at an angle. I cut another piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with another piece of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, added adhesive to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set, Irresistible Blooms, and then cut it out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three small rhinestones below the sentiment and two, larger ones towards the top of the card.

Request a Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog
Please Note: There were several glitches with my form for requesting the Annual Catalog yesterday. If after requesting the catalog, a message came up saying that you would be receiving a PayPal invoice, that was incorrect and has been fixed. If you are a customer of mine, the catalogs are complimentary. Sorry for any confusion
It’s almost time for the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! This year I’m implementing something new. I’m requesting that my customers fill out a form to have a new catalog sent to their home. I’m always happy to send complimentary copies of our catalogs to my customers but due to the rising cost of postage, I’m asking that you request one (it will still be complimentary). Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators. Thanks so much for your understanding!!
If you are a customer of mine and would like to have the Annual Catalog mailed to you and you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, please click HERE.

For more information about each product, click on the images on the flyer.

Today’s card was made using the new stamp set, Charming Sentiments, Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper, the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and the new Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock and Basic White cardstock. Next, I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to cut two pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Night of Navy cardstock. I placed the Night of Navy pieces into one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders and ran the folder through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the backs of all four pieces and then adhered them to the front of the card. Next, I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch again to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto the punched piece using the stamp set, Charming Sentiments. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the other punched pieces.
To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots around the sentiment. These new embellishments are very pretty and sparkly in person!
Bundle Alert: The Charming Sentiments Bundle is available which includes the Charming Sentiments stamp set and the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. You always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.
